We have a winner

The winner of our Cupcake Bonaza Giveaway was the lovely Anastasia Soldatos, she chose Cin Sity as her cupcake of choice (cinnamon cupcake with vanilla buttercream). Now Anastasia is an avid twitter user and beauty blogger and from this we had seen that Anastasia was tweeting her weight loss success and motivating gym updates- so we decided to use half spoon sugar and 1% milk in her cupcakes to lighten them and to make them less guilty.

We made the buttercream a beautiful lilac colour and topped off with white and milk chocolate hearts and a dusting of glitter.

Anastasia liked her cupcakes so much she has given us a review- please give it a whirl http://daintydesires.blogspot.co.uk/2012/08/oh-how-i-love-baked-good.html?m=1

Baby Bliss

Bonjour!!

We were contacted by Katie who was celebrating her wonderful news that she was pregnant.

Katie wanted a light and elegant cupcake that wasn't too heavy on flavour. We suggested our lemon and poppyseed cupcake with lemon zest buttercream.

Katie said that the cupcakes were perfect for the occasion and that she enjoyed them fully.

Congratulations Katie!!

The language of loooooovvee

Bonjour!!

Here at Monsieur Cupcake we are very passionate about L'Amore.

Every valentines we have a signature cupcake which is our raspberry cupcake with white chocolate buttercream frosting decorated with foam hearts or love heart sweets.

We decided to make a batch of these as Sam had gotten engaged at the weekend.

They are by far one of our favourite combinations. White chocolate and raspberry are just meant to be.

Love never tasted so sweet

Yum!

Bright beautiful cupcakes

Bonjour!!

We had a request from Rebecca asking for bright cupcakes for her children. She wanted 12 but as she had boys and girls she wanted a mix of colour.

We recommended the "Game Over" cupcake for the boys; a vanilla cupcake with bright blue vanilla frosting and popping candy.

And our "Raspberry Ripley" cupcake for the girls; a raspberry cupcake with raspberry and vanilla swirled buttercream.

Rebecca told us that the cakes went down a storm with her children and they were eager to try both flavours.

Bon Appetit!!

Birthday cake

Bonjour!!

We had been asked to create a large birthday cake for a lovely little chap called James. James LOVES malteasers so we suggested he had our "Malt Doom" cake.

The cake batter is infused with malt powder, then covered in our chocolate frosting and malteasers.

James adored his birthday cake and so did his friends. His mum informed us that not a single crumb was left for her!

Happy birthday James!
